Ben Bagdikian's book presents a critique of modern mass media industry and reveals the policies of media owners as aimed not at pluralism and diversity, but at money-making and uniformity of opinion presented to the audience.

Further Under the Duvet_Marian Keyes
Chapter One Hello and welcome to Further Under the Duvet, the follow-up to Under The Duvet, my first volume of journalism. I say ‘journalism' but the articles included here are mostly humorous autobiographical pieces about subjects like my great love of make-up and ill-health and my great fear of being trapped on a bus in a foreign country with forty Irish people (it's the singing .) There are also a few more serious pieces about feminism, mediums and charity trips I've made to Ethiopia and Russia.

A Little Class on Murder
The fifth in a series featuring bookstore owner and amateur sleuth Annie Laurence Darling ( Death on Demand ), this tale is long on literary allusions but short on momentum. Invited to teach a class on mystery novels, offered for some strange reason in the journalism, rather than the English department of a local college, Annie finds that university politics become grist for the school's paper. Student editor Brad Kelly's expose of a professor's embezzlement, and of the journalism department's apparent cover-up, lead to that instructor's suicide.
Dickens, Journalism and Nationhood - Mapping the World in Household Words
Dickens, Journalism, and Nationhood examines Charles Dickens' weekly family magazine Household Words in order to develop a detailed picture of how the journal negotiated, asserted and simultaneously deconstructed Englishness as a unified (and sometimes unifying) mode of expression. It offers close readings of a wide range of materials that self-consciously focus on the nature of England and Britain as well as the relationship between Britain and the European continent, Ireland, and the British colonies.
HorizonsHORIZONS offers students of English in their last year of school or first year at university the chance to develop their skills in reading and writing while working with topical, illustrated material specially related to the Middle East. The book has ten units, each of which contains two passages of literature or journalism, followed by exercises in comprehension, vocabulary development précis , and composition. 1978
